Are the plugins that are on Calibre safe? I've been having issues downloading the metadata for my books (it keeps saying "ERROR: No matches found") even though I can quickly find the books myself when I try to search for it on google; and I saw someone recommending to download the goodreads/kobobooks plugins as that may help - but when I went to download them it gave me a message saying it can contain maleware.
Is there a list here with safe plugins vs harmful ones?

They're all safe, to my knowledge. I've got a lot of them installed and have never had a problem in more than 10 years.
Once you're a bit more comfortable with both the Kobo and Calibre, I suggest installing Kobo Utilities and the KoboTouch Extended Driver plugins. The latter converts your epubs to kepubs on the fly when sending books to the Kobo (kepub has some features epub doesn't, like zooming images and reading stats; it's also a bit faster). But there's no hurry, take your time.
